This week we're talking about the all to common habit of "compare and despair". We look at what it is, why our brains like it so much, and what it creates for us.  Once we understand it, we look into how we can CHANGE that habit to something that serves us better.

We're not taught how to process our emotions. Along with that we have a cellphone in our hands to distract us from the need to process an emotion. Because of this we DON'T KNOW HOW to feel those uncomfortable emotions. They become something we fear terribly, so we try to manipulate, and control our surroundings and the people around us to avoid feeling them.

Here's the good news.

We are designed to be able to feel our uncomfortable emotions. It doesn't mean anything has gone wrong.

In this podcast I'll show you a process to walk you through feeling a negative emotion.

It's not fun, it doesn't feel great. But when we allow ourselves to go into our body and see what it's like to actually feel that emotion, it's cleansing. 

Listen in today to hear how you can choose intentionally what experience you want to have. Our brains are pretty incredible tools that sort information and make sense of it all without much work on our part. Some of that automatic sorting isn't creating the results we want. In this episode I go over how to slow it all down and choose what we want to believe on purpose.

In this episode I share 8 of my go to thoughts that have created so much good in my life. Feel free to apply what works for you and leave the rest. For me these have grated me so much freedom and authenticity. I hope they bring you some of the same joy!

Today we're going to identify why we strive for perfection, what our brain believes it will create for us, what result it brings, and how to work through harmful perfectionist tendencies.

I hope this episode helps you understand what your brain is doing, and how to break free of those tendencies that aren't letting you be YOU!
